Emily Brown

I got to talk with David Exumé of Crosscurrents on KALW about my new album A Fish of Earth, family and cultural influences, and the closure of Mills College (where I went to grad school)

My new album “A Fish of Earth” is out today! You can listen to it anywhere you listen to music and you can buy physical copies on Bandcamp. Making this album with and was a connective, transcendent, and truly collaborative experience. I’ve said multiple times throughout the creative process that I don’t feel I karmically deserve to have made an album this wonderful. Lately I feel even more grateful to have performed these songs with Pat Campbell ( ), who recently passed away and who is one of the most masterful drummers I’ll ever know. More and more I am realizing that the most intimate and divine experiences of my life are centered around playing music with other people. I’m lucky to keep making music with people I love.

My new single “I Get The Feeling” is out today! It’s a Glenn-Campbell-ish western love song and Bly Wallentine arranged it!

Since it’s Bandcamp Friday, you can directly support me if you preorder the album today! If you’d like to order a vinyl or a shirt, this is a great day to do it!

I released my new song “Baby Wanting” a week ago and somehow got too sheepish and caught up to talk about it here. It’s largely about my sister Maren who’s 20 years younger than me and also about my longing for vs fear of parenting. Wrote it about 2 years ago for a song club prompt and I’m glad it’s out in the world now! Listen wherever there’s music or at the link below:
